the ring finger

Hey everyone! Today, we will finally finish my series about fingers by covering the ring finger. This is the third finger of the hand (fourth if you count the thumb), especially the left hand on which people normally wear their wedding rings.

Here is a picture:

In many cultures, this is a magical finger and so you get the name; medical finger because it was supposed to have healing powers. This is the same as in Japan where you call it: 薬指 - kusuri yubi or medicine finger.

There aren't any real idioms again just the term ring finger which is often used. Ex:

A: Wow, that is a cute guy!

B: Did you check his ring finger? Is he married?

Ok, there is one more lesson left in this series which is about the smallest finger... ...the pinky!
